Samiches and Beer

Found this tucked inside a row of Hot Wing sauce at our local Ralph’s market. Is this a lover’s quarrel “makeup” meal? How big of a jerky was he? Awh, but she still loves him. She’ll even buy him beer. WIC gets to pay for the bread for the “samiches.”

Weekend Plans

Ten years ago I was teaching high school. On a Friday just after school had let out I found this piece of paper in my classroom, and realized that it could well ruin one student’s carefully mapped out plans for the weekend. I ran after him, but he was gone – and I mean gone. … Continued
